Leick’s K-State Career Finally Arrives After sitting out the 2011-12 season due to NCAA transfer rules and missing the entire 2012-13 season due to a torn ACL, senior Katya Leick had to put off her official K-State debut for an extra game as she was dealing with back spasms during the Tennessee State game.

Leick, a forward from Grey Cloud Township, Minn., finally took the floor against Charlotte on Nov. 10 for K-State. She responded with nine points and seven rebounds in her first official game action since March 8, 2011 against Iowa State in the Big 12 Championships when she played for Nebraska.

Leick registered her first career double-double with career-highs of 18 points and 12 rebounds in a career-high 46 minutes of action at Hampton on Dec. 21. This was K-State’s first double-double of the season and the first by a Wildcat since Brittany Chambers tallied a double-double against Utah on April 3, 2013.

For the season, Leick is averaging 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds and has pulled in five or more rebounds in six games this season.
